RARE Ichthyosaur Basioccipital Bone Whitby

An opportunity to purchase a very rare bone from an Ichthyosaur.

An ichthyosaur basisphenoid, a bone from the rear of the skull which would have sat between the skull and the spine.

The Fossil shown in the pictures is the exact one you will receive. This is a good size and so would have come from a fairly large Ichthyosaur.

180 million years old.

Upper Lias, Lower Jurassic, Whitby, North Yorkshire, England.
